Rehomed Dogs

Please let us know how your new pal is doing here:-

1. Hi we had Monty may 2009 after looseing our other resue dog Roger who was a rottweiller cross, I thought it was too soon to have another dog but Tony missed Roger so much he searched the web for another dog...i told him no more big dogs...a week a so went by and he phoned to go and see monty... who was being fostered by Jamie(who is a walker for the trust)and who also had lost his dog....Jamie had done so much with monty in ref to training and giving him so much love... Monty( who is a staffy cross) was so well behaved and very pleasant to take a walk... me not being a staffy lover has had my mind changed totally... what a loving breed they are...monty is a wonderful dog in every way...he has changed our life completely... he likes to sit on your knee, shoulders and the drivers seat of the car..he gets every where... especially on our bed...sorry jamie monty has picked up some bad habits ...we would like to thank everyone from the trust because with out you we would not have our loving furry family member...who still today makes us roll with laughter...

2. We rehomed Cassie from Crewe nearly 6 months ago and what a difference she had made ! Our Ridgeback cross has settled as she is not afraid to tell him off if he becomes too boisterous, and she is alway game for a game of tug (she is only a chihuahua/staffy x). She has a great big personality and everyone who sees her falls in love with her. She is my little shadow and often follows me around the house and cuddles up with me on the bed during the night. She is a great little girl and we love her to bits.

5. We had Bonnie for just over 2 years, sadly she was put to sleep the other day. She was a very funny and friendly dog, and although she was a little old she was young at heart. We loved her so much and miss her so much. We feel we gave her a lovely home and have so many treasured memories. R.I.P. BONNIE x x x

6. Hi all,

   I've had my little Alfie now for just over three years. He's the second staffi cross in the slide show, brindle with a lovely smile. That pic was taken when he first came to live with me.

   He nearly died three weeks ago, his spleen ruptured and caused massive internal bleeding. But thankfully the emergency vets operated on him at 1am and removed his spleen. It was touch and go for a few days afterwards but he's still here and he's back to his old self now! He was electrocuted by a lampost 2 years ago and it looks like his spleen was damaged then and has just been a time bomb waiting to go off. The spleen had scar tissue on it and was just waiting to rupture completely.

   He's either the luckiest dog in the world, surving the pound, electrocution and now this! or he's the unluckiest :) But with all honestly I have tried my best to give him the life he deserves. He is older now, I'm not sure exactly but he's probably 10.

   Thank you so much for saving his life in the first instance. He's a wonderful dog and changed my life completely. Since meeting him I realised the problems dogs have in this country and have worked for animal sanctuaries and I do voluntary work for local rescues. I've since become guardian to two more lovely rescue dogs as well! He's a star and have changed everyones lives who he's met.

   Thank you again.

9. The Staffy we travelled from Portsmouth to Dewsbury to collect has settled in as part of the family, Sadie is a character and a totally different character from our previous doggies, very lively and playful, still just a puppy.

   She travels well in the car, looking forward to holidays in Devon with her. She likes her food and asks for a dish of tea now and again. Loves tug of war games with ropes, rubber toys, tea towels, my ties etc.

   All the neighbours cats we used to get in the garden now go somewhere else, cant imagine why!

   She thinks horses are just very big dogs, obviously hasn`t seen them before.

   Other dogs are virtually ignored unless they want to run and play, she is very very good.

10. We have had our Daisy for 19 momths now and we absolutely adore her. She is a brown brindle and white Staffy.She is so affectionate and so comical , she is a proper clown. She loves all her toys and we could not wish for a more delightful and happy dog. She is my shadow, she follows me everywhere and she loves me as much as I love her.We have another rescue dog called Twink He is a German Shepherd x Staffy He too had a bad start in life, We dearly love our dogs so what makes the other toe-rags tick? That they can abuse the other poor animals. If it were possible I would take all the animals in need of a loving home and love them all. IF ONLY??? We can't thank the Doris Banham Sanctuary enough for rehoming our Daisy with us, and also for giving us our very first rosette for second place in the Happiest Rescue Dogs photographic competition when our friend Paula submitted a photograph of our two dogs Twink and Daisy, It was without doubt the proudest day of my life. Thankyou so much Pam Emmins

11. Mickey (rehomed slide 46) has just had his 'first birthday'. Still impeccably behaved and spoilt rotten, loves his holidays in the caravan and has seen lots of countryside (and cows). He really surprised us all when we went to the beach as we weren't expecting him to go and play in the sea although he didn't take to surfing!

    At home, he's a proper tart, loves the sun and often goes missing into the back garden sunbathing, after he's chased away the squirrels and birds.

    There's never been a dull moment with him around, a real character. Giving him a home has been one of the most satisfying and rewarding things we have ever done, keep up the good work.

12. Well you'll never believe it, it's Eddie's "birthday" tomorrow - he's been here a year :) how quick has that gone! Obviously he will be spoilt rotten. Unfortunately one of his birthday presents hasnt yet arrived - a bed that he will fit in! But we're sure he wont notice if it's late. He's totally outgrown the bed we bought him last August as he is now twice the size he was then. He continues to be a credit to his breed and 99% well behaved. We love him soooo much and he is totally devoted to the pair of us (as i type he's sat bolt upright on the sofa ,so he can see out of the window, waiting for Darren to get home). We wouldnt be without him and can't thank you all enough for giving him the chance of another life. The vet has given him a clean bill of health. We will never understand how his previous owners could just get rid of him, but their loss is our enormous gain. He brings so much life and love to our house. We will post some more photos when the forum is back up.

13. I have had Simba for over a month now. He came to me a very timid, scared and quiet boy with no confidence, slowly but surely his confidence is growing and I see a change in him every day. He is turning into a very affectionate and loving happy boy who is a lot of fun to be with. He loves his toys, chilling in the garden and walks and has settled in very well in to his new home. It has taken him and me a little time to adjust to things as I haven't had a dog around the house for a couple of years but it makes the house much more homely with Simba here. Although he has his mischievous moments like stealing food off the table he is the perfect dog, loving, gentle and fun. Simba and I have become very close and he is a much loved boy. After being neglected and treated horribly I am happy that I can give him a new loving life. Thanks very much.

14. We have had Sid now for just over 3 months, he's great, we look at him and wonder how anyone could have abandened him, he makes us smile everyday. He loves his walks, loves dossing in the garden and loves to demolish any toy you give him!!! We had some photos developed last week, they were of Sid from day 1 to now, it took my breath away to see how thin he was when we had him and how stocky, young and playful he is now, full of life, thank goodness.

15. We have had Meg for nearly two weeks now,a big Staffy girl of a year old.Despite arriving in season into our house of 4 Staffs ( including our neutered male) she has been the perfect dog.Yes she was unsure for the first day or so and was shy,we knew she wanted us as we did her and she could not be sweeter.Now, two weeks later she is on the sofa asleep or in the garden playing or sunbathing.She loves her walks and even though she was in kennels for months she is perfectly clean in the house.We can't work out why she was unwanted as you'll never find a dog more loving or eager to be with you.We are thrilled to bits with her ,love her like mad and it's just the biggest bonus to know we have given her the life of comfort she deserves.We have bought pups in the passed ,they are elderly now,but this being our second rescue staffy ,we would never buy another from a breeder again.How could you when the most beautifull dogs need a home.?Thankyou for all the work you do to save these lovely dogs.We will always do what we can to help.

16. Well cid has been with us 2 wks and he has settled in so well, we couldnt of asked for a nicer, gentler or better behaved dog if we tried, he is absolutley stunning and we love him desperatley the moment we saw him, he is a carzy little might, he sleeps in the weirdest posistions, digs holes in the garden with his nose and has the worst farts on this earth, they make ur eyes water lol But he truely is the most amazing dog and he has made our life so much better and happier with him in it!!!!!!!

17. We took our GSD as a puppy of 6 months old from you. He had just arrived mins before from the pound on day 7 instead of being PTS.

    Whilst he has been sufferring from seperation anxiety since arriving (we spent the first week in turns on the sofa) and swallowing his food so quick it didn't touch the sides, he is now in training and although he has some kinks and peculiarities we are gradually giving him the confidence he needs to enjoy being a dog.

    He learnt to swim (now proficient, although he was tall enough to run on the bottom of the river and pretend for a while!) and has mastered many commands.

    The local vet suggested we put a ball in his food to slow him down, so he just picked up the ball and threw it out!

    Although we have a long way to go with repairing the damage of is first owners, we are in for the long haul and he is gradually accepting he has 2 owners, not one, as with many GSD. He dislikes most females (I am the exception, but his trust is not 100%) and does growl at them, so we know he was frightened by a female (human) at some point.

    Now in the best health he romps around on daily walks and mostly comes when called although he needs further socialisation with other pooches and needs to know he is not the small toy pooch he thinks he is, especially when playing with the cat.

    We love him dearly and hope he feels the same.

18. We have had Trixie a german shepherd cross for some two months. She was very nervous at first but has now settled well. A valuable member of thefamily. Thank you very much.

19. Betty who was at Great Dane Rescue near Boston.

    Betty is living in a lovely home near Grantham out in the country where she has lots of space to run around in. She has settled in really well with their other dog Starsky, cats and horses. What a lucky lady!!
